Makes me wonder if all those people who are so up in arms about terror suspects being watched will have any worries about the government tracking all our movements using GPS on our vehicles ostensibly so they can tax us. I wonder if all private citizens being tracked by the IRS or the state department of revenue is more benign than Osama’s buddies being watched by the FBI or the NSA?


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
